Saudi owned games company reportedly in talks to purchase niantic, owners of #pokemongo.

Given the over representation of the #LBTQIA amongst #pogo players, I'm expecting this to go down quite poorly if it were to occur.

It probably also explains the shifting focus on pay to play - higher revenues drive higher transaction price, albeit it would appear the bubble is bursting.

Guo was supposed to post bail of P180,000 — P90,000 for each count of the two counts of graft — to be granted temporary liberty.

Asked why Guo opted not to post bail, her lawyer, #NicolaJamila said: “Sa ngayon po kasi, we see no reason for that. Kahit magbail siya, hindi pa rin makukuha ang purpose, considering na meron siyang other warrant of arrest.” #Philippines #POGO #PogoProbe
